Dustin Trammell
From Satoshipedia, the Satoshi Mail encyclopedia
Dustin Trammell is an early Bitcoin user who ran the software within days of v0.1 and exchanged 22 emails with Satoshi in January 2009.
His first email reported that his node had generated coins but showed a zero credit, and pointed Satoshi to a public timestamping service (“Re: Bitcoin v0.1 released”). Later threads cover his ideas for the software and a test transfer (“A few thoughts...”, “BitCoin Transfer”). Satoshi wrote from satoshi@vistomail.com throughout.
Trammell published the exchange on his website, and nakamoto-archive keeps a copy.[1]
